[Bug 330138] Re: Ubuntu (8.10 with latest patches (patched on 16. Feb. 2009, 8.04.1 without patches) ignores filename cases on cifs-mount in an error-prone manner

[Bugfinder]

Sorry for not updating the bug report.

We have now upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 and as far as I remember it worked
correctly with the release version, but as Ubuntu 8.04 was the only
version with long term support it should be corrected if not a newer long
term version is being released shortly.
